... river beyond, that marks the beginning of Heaven. You have to cross it. Another person will now come and take Page 52 charge of you, do not grieve. Beatrice herself will come." Dante was elated hearing the name of Beatrice but then to leave Virgil was a great grief. He exclaimed: "But why, why my sweet guide, why are you not allowed to enter?" Virgil answered: "That is my secret. But... saw at a distance a figure divinely beautiful and imposing. Oh! it was Beatrice herself! Directly he saw her he was so overwhelmed that he forgot himself – Dante says, all his old passion rose with renewed intensity, all that was suppressed in him. Was the love, the passion earthly, was it heavenly? he was confused. Beatrice with a tone of severity spoke and reprimanded him: "Dante, do not yield... entire. Beatrice was lifting up both the mind and the heart of Dante into her knowledge and consciousness, into her own love. Indeed through her words, Dante says, Truth is visible, clear like a star in the sky. They now moved on further and arrived at the last lap, the highest Heaven. Saint Bernard now took charge of him. The saint said: "Henceforth I will be the guide, the last guide. Beatrice now ...

... The Secret Splendour (An adaptation and fusion of two famous speeches of Beatrice to Virgil in the Divina Commedia ) "O courteous soul of Mantuar poesy, Whose fame for ever on God's earth endures - A friend not of my fortune but of me Roves through a desert, driven from his course By obstacles so grave my I heart has fear Lest... late should bear him succouring force, Too late if nought in heaven save truth I hear.

She spoke to Lucia: 'Go forth and remove His sorrow, thou who art grief's minister.'

... Divine, and also his newly evolved theory and practice of 'overhead' aesthesis. The role of Beatrice in the Commedia is played as purposefully and more dynamically by Savitri in Sri Aurobindo's poem; Virgil is distantly paralleled by Aswapati, and even as Virgil leads to Beatrice, Aswapati leads to Savitri. And Savitri herself is at once the heroine of the legend and the symbol-force... Life Divine—on earth, for Satyavan is really the "soul of the world". This is the new dimension given to the old story by the seer-poet of Savitri. In the Commedia, Dante, long separated from Beatrice, meets her again, but only on the "other side", not upon "this bank and shoal of time". Nevertheless, in the Commedia and Savitri alike, it is the heroine (the 'hero' in these two epics is about ...

Such was the experience which mystically had turned his love for Beatrice into something like a cosmic... can now see Savitri and The Divina Commedia together. One is symbolic, the other mainly allegoric, — and that makes a difference.

Its theme, taken ...
... spirit in the language, something of Dante's concentrated force of expression into his lines." A word now on Beatrice. We all are inclined to rave romantically about her and Dante. I wrote to Sri Aurobindo long ago: "I am drawn to Dante especially by his conception of Beatrice which seems to me to give him his excellence. How would you define that conception?" The answer was: "Outwardly it was... connection of the past which could not fulfil itself in that life. But I do not see how his conception of Beatrice gives him his excellence - it was only one element in a very powerful and complex nature." I remember the Mother once telling me that what Dante wrote in connection with Beatrice in La Vita Nuova struck her as an imaginative reconstruction of his experience rather than a direct transcript... whole last canto of Paradiso as well as part of the fifth canto of Inferno telling the story of Francesca of Rirruni, and a passage from Canto XXX of Purgatorio recounting Dante's meeting Beatrice.
